Reddy O’Riordan Architects, Cork

Reddy O’Riordan Architects (RORSA) is a Cork-based architectural practice, founded in 1972, with a reputation for design excellence, as evidenced in competition wins, commendations and awards.

The firm worked from two offices situated in two detached buildings next to each other. One of the buildings was a protected building and the other was a state-of-the-art, newly built unit with ultra-modern finishes.

The project brief was to link the two buildings together by an internal corridor that would resemble a “picture-frame”.

It was necessary for the internal fixtures to be exactly the same as those in the existing modern building. The aim was to achieve a seamless finish when going from one building to another.

The frames of the unit were built from an original specification designed by RORSA that had never been attempted before by Extraspace Solutions. We successfully achieved the brief as well as supplying bespoke acoustic walls to the rear of the unit, all surface finishes, mechanical, electrical, acoustic works and fire certificates.
